You obviously haven't spent much time in Florida. We've been putting
several hundred hours a year on two different boats and there are
still places we haven't been yet.


My husband's opinion is the same as far as the sailing goes. There's
plenty of boating - for motor boats. Lots of places to go - for shoal
draft boats with no masts.

Although there is the Atlantic on the east - it isn't at all
sheltered, and the Gulf Stream does make it tricky sometimes, and
occasionally dangerous.

There are places we really like in Florida, and even a few places
where there is good sailing, but not like the Chesapeake.

Although it is better than Georgia.
